50k offer now
https://www.barclaycardus.com/apply/Landing.action?campaignId=2257&cellNumber=2&referrerid=PTRBAMMProdPg

Intro APR for 15 months on balance transfers made within 45 days of account opening

Barclays doesn't approve a second card in almost all circumstances.
Iv'e got my wife this card and 3 weeks later applied for US Airways got approved as well without closing first one although only $600 credit line. so YMMV
The way to go is to close your card, wait a week (I can only vouch for a week, might be less), apply for a new card (I can only vouch for a different card, it might not matter. Try it out!) and bam! get approved instantly! (that's what almost all Barclays approvals are)

The evidence is still only from a small number of cases, but it works.

P.S. I don't take responsibility and you can't sue me if it doesn't work.

P.P.S. This is called the SFGM. It's named after the person who helped me discover it.

There are many, many reports of success churning the card without needing a new FFN.

Ask for the annual fee to be waived. It will be. Don't give up after 1 no. The first responders are "relationship managers." They are often unhelpful with the fee. Just ask specifically to speak to "an account specialist." They can waive the fee. If you have trouble getting to an account specialist, you can tell the relationship manager who answers the phone that you were on the line with an account specialist and got disconnected. They should be more than happy to "reconnect" you.

Barclays site has it and doesn't mention that the offer may be pulled anytime. So I would guess good until dec 15

Thank you.  I used your link and was approved for the card today.

I have this card already with an 8k cl which is about a 1/3 of my total personal cl. I would like to churn this card but is it worth canceling the card and losing the credit limit? I was declined a few weeks ago for the us air...

Go to miles and more account, click earn miles, click credit cards, 50k offer alive and well.
But none of the bloggers will tell you this, because all they care about, is getting paid.

Yes, the offer is still going, but may be taken down at any time.
Here is the direct link if you can't find it:
http://www.miles-and-more.com/online/portal/mam/us/earn/credit_card/offer?nodeid=2073359900

Here is information on using the Lufthansa miles to get 3 Free 1-Way First Class Domestic tickets with your miles:
http://therewardboss.com/2013/10/17/3-free-first-class-1-way-domestic-tickets-worth-up-to-4200-with-the-lufthansa-premier-miles-more-mastercard/  [mod please remove if this is not allowed]

While I generally agree with you, especially consider many blogs where 100% of the left/right sides are lined with credit card offers, not all of us do that.  There are a few from Boarding Area who are good.  I hate ads that clutter up everything so I dont do that on my site -- since I started writing my "top 5 credit card offers" every month, I dont get anything for about half of them.  If all of the good offers are not paid, I will just post those.  There's no point, in my opinion, to post cr@p.  I think people will know when you're just trying to make money on them and not really posting good deals.  When the Lufthansa offer was taken down, I found a new link and posted it.  That said, my site is fairly new and welcome any feedback, positive or negative.

I couldn't agree any way more .  Kudos  to for you for posting good offers even when you don't make commission.  I hate to see sites posting lower offers and fooling the public  when there are in fact better offers out there,  only to make a few bucks.

In order to book Luftansa on United, is it possible to do that online or do you have to call them?  I looked online for NY - Hawaii flights and I'm getting error messages and/or no availability.

Thanks.

I would like to check for first class availability on the Newark - Honolulu United first lay flat seats using Luftansa miles booked on United.  I am also curious about the NYC - LAX/SFO routes.  For Hawaii, no availability pops up.  For NYC - LAX they route through Germany but then ultimately give an error.  In sum, I would like to learn how to book tickets on United using Luftansa miles and if its possible to do so online or if you have to call them.

Thanks in advance.

Update - I found the answer online at Million Mile Secrets (Sorry Dan):

"There is NO fee for booking flights over the phone with the Lufthansa Miles & More service center.  In contrast, most US airlines charge $25 for a phone booking.

This is great because you *have* to call the service center to book certain awards. Remember that only airlines which are part of the Miles and More program (Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian etc.) can be booked online.  Other airlines like United, Thai, Air New Zealand, etc. must be booked over the phone."

Very few foreign airlines can book partners.
And there's no airline that can reliably book every partner online.

Anyway, was asked and answered several times in this post:

Most bizarre blogger controversy ever.  MMS got caught in a lie so just ignored it completely while his reputation went to shreds.

I remember those days, it was so much fun, he kept on deleting comments on his website, he had a full time job just doing that.

I wonder why my IP has not been blocked.

will do..
though unlike my 3bm today with chase, i am going to wait to see if any get approved by them without calling in..
i dont have any accounts with barclays so i wouldn't mind getting some new credit with them.. i like my credit limits to be diverse. spread out across multiple banks so no one bank feels they are carrying a huge load as compared to others.
